    In the image above is the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City and is a very popular tourist spot. This Cathedral is not only one of the most treasured architectural masterpieces in Mexico, but also one of the largest and oldest cathedrals in Latin America. It took three centuries to build, from 1573 to 1813, so it makes sense that the architecture is a fusion of the three different styles that dominated during its construction. Baroque, Classical, Neo-Renaissance. But even three centuries of development could not guarantee that the foundations were strong enough. Like the rest of Mexico City, the cathedral gradually sinks into the moving lake built on top of it.  An urban legend even claims that an underpass connects the cathedral to the neighboring Templo Mayor. best hearsay. However, the connection between the two structures is irrefutable. Almost all of the Templo Mayor stones are incorporated into the cathedral. It is even claimed that Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortés moved the first one.
